Dear Hanna,

 

A strategic business unit (UBS) is a semi-autonomous corporate unit that focuses on a product offering and market segment.

 

Corporate Relationship of SBU

 

SBUs typically have a discrete marketing plan, analysis of competition, and marketing campaign, even though they may be part of a larger business entity.

 

Organization Setup With SBU

 

 There are three factors that are generally seen as determining the success of an SBU:

 

1- The degree of autonomy given to each SBU manager.

2- The degree to which an SBU shares functional programs and facilities with other SBUs.

3- The manner in which the corporation adopts to new changes in the market.

 

Regards,
